The first circuit of the 108 Megawatts Tepuy Photovoltaic Project, undertaken by POWERCHINA, successfully achieved grid connection and began generating electricity in Colombia on Feb 21. This project is currently the largest being carried out by POWERCHINA in Colombia in terms of installed power generation capacity.
The project owner's representative said that this project was the first collaboration between Medellin Electric Company and POWERCHINA and POWERCHINA ensured the project's power generation was on schedule through high-quality and efficient services.
The representative also hopes for further collaborations with POWERCHINA in the future.
The project has created over 2,000 jobs for locals. Since its inception, employees from both China and Colombia have worked together to ensure the project's timely completion, resulting in a milestone project in POWERCHINA's localization management and construction efforts in Colombia.
POWERCHINA currently has 10 photovoltaic projects under construction in Colombia, with a total installed capacity of 567 MW. In addition to driving the export of Chinese technology and equipment, these projects have also contributed to Colombia's energy transition efforts.
